Antioxidants and Oxidative Stress in Exercise
Sources of Oxidative Stress
- Uncoupling of the electron transport chain: 2-5% of the total electron flux escapes the respiratory chain to make O2-. Exercise increases ATP demand. O2 uptake can increase 20-fold. O2 flux through active muscle may increase 100-fold. So there is an increased possibility.
- Ischemia-reperfusion: Intense exercise can lead to tissue hypoxia. Hypoxia promotes an excess of electron donors, NADH. Xanthine oxidase. After a period of ischemia, an increased neutrophil infiltration
